[video clip] , if the vice president enters the race, will those of you at thaty's list, consider

a slap? justice bernie sanders has done in the race, and martin o'malley has gotten into the race, it the vice president decides to do so, this is how our system is set up a wish to have a serious debate nominee for the party should be. what i am pleased to see if a wonderful debate on policies facing women and families, and bed by secretary clinton's continuation of her lifelong career fighting for women and families. rolling out debt free student out west, was just

talking to a group of millennial women. this is a huge issue facing the country. the democrats are talking about it, and hillary clinton is leading the way. the contrast could not be clearer. the republicans have not talked when any issues feared they do, they talk about the funding planned parenthood. we may be looking at a republican nominee for the first time who does not even believe in exceptions for abortion. this is a clear case of contrasts. the choice will be very clear next year. >> you mentioned donald trump. , peopleion would be looked at the first debate and heard what donald trump has been saying since then, and thought that his support from women .ould fall through the floor

plus are showing that has not happened. i'm wondering if you have an expedition for that. >> i don't know if i can explain what is going on in the republican party right now. schrock is our guest, she is the president of emily's list. michael bender is joining us here at the table, political reporter for bloomberg news. good sunday morning. with one of the headlines from "the des moines register, your partner in the latest poll. "clinton leads, sanders closes in." hillary clinton favored by 37%. bernie sanders 30%. vice president joe biden, who has yet to enter the race, is at 14%. martin o'malley at 3%.

jim webb at 2%. the margin of error is under 5%. hillary clinton has dropped significantly. guest: that's right. she is down below 50%. withinsanders is striking distance. joe biden, if he wants to run, shows that he has something support here, and could make a .ecent run at clinton it has to be concerning for clinton right now. granted, we're in the summer of 2015, a long way to go still. a concerning to be poll for hillary clinton and her team. host: this is the front page of "thewashington post," democrats brace for a season of uncertainty."

quoting named and unnamed sources in iowa politics, it is an uphill battle for joe biden. guest: the iowa caucuses all about organizing. biden has not been on the ground yet there this year. obviously, he has a lot of name recognition, has run a couple times before, so he knows what to do should he decide to become a. -- to make a run. host: what do you think his timeline is? guest: i think he has a couple of months. there was a piece in "helping to post," in previous races, it shows that the polls do not matter until the end of the year. i think that biden has a couple of months to decide.

i will give them enough time to get his initial campaign up and running in time to organize for at least the iowa caucus. host: one of the most retweeted pieces of video from the c-span video library took place on friday as we covered the dnc meeting. among the speakers, former maryland governor martin o'malley, and the lip that he gave to the dnc chair -- the look that he gave to the dnc chair, debbie wasserman schultz. [video clip] we put ourlley: forward thinking ideas on the back burner, as if we are trying to hide them from the airwaves. think about it. the republicans stand before the our presidentign record of achievement. the denigrate women and .mmigrant families

they doubled down on trickle sewn, and tell their fal story. we respond with crickets, tumbleweeds. [applause] four debates. four debates? four debates. we are told, not asked before photos make their decision. this is totally unprecedented in our party history. process -- rigged where did it come from? for what party interest does this serve? how does this help us tell the story of the last eight years of progress?

how does this promote our democratic ideas for wages going up and household incomes going up again, instead of down. [applause] us make ours help case to the american people? one debate in iowa? that's it? one debate in new hampshire? that's all we can afford? get this, it is cynically wedged in the high point of holiday shopping, so i few people -- as few people watch as possible. best, becoming something something else? what happened to an open debate and 50 state strategy? host: the comments of martin o'malley. as you heard what he said on friday, it did get a lot of attention. guest: which is good for o'malley. he needs to break free here. he needs to get some momentum

going. he has been in the low single digits in the polls for most of the year. our poll shows him at 3%, meanwhile bernie sanders obviously has taken a lot of the momentum. i don't know how much room there is within the democratic race with hillary clinton, how much air there is for other candidates. it looks a democrats are looking next to joe biden which is tough for martin o'malley. host: also, bloomberg politics and "the des moines survey -- out with a ben carson edging closer to front runner trump. at 23%, only his lead. neurosurgeon ben carson at 18%. neither of these people have held public office.

ted cruz at 8%. scott walker also at 8%. marco rubio at 6%. jeb bush also at 6%. mike fiorina and my huckabee in the single digits. guest: donald trump is leading at 23%. the last time we asked this was at 4%.e ben carson, i think he has been laying groundwork here for a couple of years. he had a good debate performance. now, his favorable rating nr polls is 79%. by 79% ofed favorably iowa republicans, and unfavorably by 8%. those are barack obama type numbers. host: it tells you how frustrated people are with the

so-called political class. guest: absolutely. our poll gets into that as well. given the choice of half a dozen attributes of donald trump, most people say what they like about him is he tells it like it is. coming and second is that he is not a career politician. .ost: let's hear from you michael bender from bloomberg politics is our guest. we will take a look at another busy week in politics. from arkansas, good morning. caller: thank you. i have been listening to your program. i watch every sunday. you always have great topics. for berniee to vote

sanders, but i am afraid it will split the ticket, and we may lose out to someone like ted who.or god knows i am disabled. 20 years now. i have zero retirement. i live off social security. i have zero in my savings account. month-to-month, -- i live month-to-month, and intelligent anyone out there to live off of $1056 per month. host: your final thought? i went t want to get michael ber a chance to respond. caller: i will listen. host: earlier this morning, we

were talking about retirement plans. guest: i think it is a fair question here. we are seeing the a little bit in this poll, clinton's electability in 2060 is a big part of her appeal for democrats . it also highlights here -- the comment was about bernie sanders and his policies. she thinks that bernie sanders would be best for her particular situation. in our poll, 96% of bernie areers supporters say they supporting him for his policies, not because of any anger or dissatisfaction with clinton, as opposed to the republican side we have a lot of anti-bush, anti-clinton feelings. host: one of our viewers, and can hillary clinton maneuver

sanders out of the caucuses? guest: this is going to be an argument for her against bernie sanders. it is not showing up in the polls, any personality issues here, both clinton and sanders have, more or less, refrained from attacking each other. it is deathly something hillary clinton will be able to use, and it may be an organizing question, whether or not you are in the -- on the ballot or how he will do it. host: kim from north carolina, independent line. good morning. caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call. democracy, people are really waking up and saying that a candidate like bernie sanders is what we need. he has been there for a long

time but he has not been the establishment. he has said things that are coming true now. democracy now is going haywire. the rich is getting too rich. i have nothing wrong with capitalism. i have nothing against it. andwhen it gets out of hand you get a few people getting all and less money for the middle class, that is what is happening now. people are starting to see that now. want to be communist, but the communist system was great. when they got the communist party, they took up most of the money just like we are doing. their system failed. but bernie sanders is the one .andidate that is coming out i think he will bring the middle class back. it, the rich,at

these guys -- the richest have doubled. and i think five years. and it will double again in less than that. there is only so much money in the pot, and when you let people make all this money and put nothing back in, people like me, and you, and everybody else we end up paying for the roads and the environment. and john also in north carolina, weighing in. democrat should support bernie sanders, he represents the soul of the party. finger onl he put his an issue for pelicans and democrats. the income inequality issue, which raises good questions which he talked about very clearly there. for the republicans and the

democrats, jeb bush is talking about him come -- income inequality. areour they going to be -- they going to be able to the messengers on that issue and obviously does to families have done quite well on that. is he going to be up to speak to enhance the mouth and month-to-month, when their speaking fees are more than the average american makes in a year. host: there's a story from politico, reporting on troubles fundraisers, and they left the campaign parting ways as his political campaign continues to flounder. his fundraising has slowed down to differently. guest: that is what we are hearing. what i'm hearing is fundraising has slowed down for just about

everyone this quarter as trump has risen to the top and stayed here for a couple of months, six weeks, all the republican top candidates are having more difficulty. for bush the question is going to be how he will do with grassroots donors. he's got plenty of folks who can give him $2700. he's got plenty of folks who can give him super pac support. a million-dollar check. but can he sustain a? 10 his campaign sustain a? -- sustain it? i think that is the fundamental question with the bush campaign. is where he is going to find new donors. a fundraiser in washington in a couple of weeks, to lobbyistse went and supporters here in town, washington, made a point of saying this is for new money. please bring new donors and new

money to this fundraiser. coralour next caller is from -- carl from chicago, a democrat. caller: good morning. how are you guys doing? host: fine thank you. caller: i want to get my view about the polls and how there is troubling news for hillary. i'll just sort of get my point of view about hillary. happeningat what is with the polls and everything like this has a lot to do with the media. i did not go for hillary when she ran against obama. i just honestly, i do watch the news. what i am seeing from the news i'm not a report -- saying this is deliberate or whatnot on their part, but they aspecthillary's negative

s. reporting on her is done with the intent, well, what is it that we can talk about that is negative. hear that theu media says about hillary. just constant e-mail. what is negative about the e-mail? to my mind it is basically about the process. one saying she turned terrorist secrets over to the enemy or anything like that. this is about privacy. everything they say is used from the media with this negative aspect. that let me step in on specific point, the server issue at her private e-mail. in your mind, that is not an issue in this election? for you personally? caller: no.

i saw a press conference, i don't know if you guys have seen it, he said we are talking about practice? you talk about practice, that's what i see this as equivalent to. it is not really a story. hillary's numbers will go back up. all she is to do is select someone like julian castro to be her running mate and she will be just fine. let's take up on the point he put on the table which is the e-mail issue. based on the bloomberg poll in iowa, how big of an issue is that among democrats? guest: if you are with clinton you don't think it is a big issue. if you are not with clinton, you do think of it as an issue, specifically, among her think thatabout 25% this e-mail issue is going to be a problem. people who are not supporting

clinton, about half think it is going to be an issue. this is not just a media creation, democrats see this as an issue as well. although, to carl's point, i think there is a long relationship between the clintons and the media, and does treat heres the media a little different we sometimes? maybe. every candidate has to figure that out over the course of their campaign. host: michael bender is a political reporter for bloomberg politics, a graduate of ohio state university. is it the ohio state? guest: the ohio state. host: i always get that. i want to share with you a better headline from donald trump, from the hill newspaper. donald trump saying americans are tired of being the patsies.

he is surging in part because he represents the tea party supporters he says has been ignored by democrats and betrayed by republicans. this story is available online l.comehil http://twitter.com/cspanwj -- [video clip] >> you saw the anchor baby thing. he said, you know the name anchor baby is very insulting. i said what would you call them? he gave me like nine words. a baby who is born by his national of another country in this country. it's an anchor baby. jeb bush is cost. he is such a nice person, honestly. [laughter] a nice person, honestly, you should vote for jeb. the country is going to go to hell, but we will not talk about it. no, but if you want a nice so jeb has a memo

that he signed of basically politically correct memo. all these things, pages. one of the things, never used the term anchor baby. so all of a sudden he is using the term anchor baby just last week. and when me when i use it nobody criticizes me. they gave up. with him they killed him. they just killed him. and then he blames the agents. did you see that? times" did an editorial, how dare you attack the asians? he said, well you know, the asians come in and they also have anchor babies. and now the asians all hate him. but the asians love me. the: donald trump at national federation of republican assemblies, he is the subject of a front-page article this morning, on page of the

boston globe. i am going to be the king of new york real estate as he attended business school. that's from 1976. does 20 share with you his license plate on his cadillac in djt for donald j trump. guest: this is, at the very least, we are seeing what we saw on stage there goes back years, decades. how trump has handled himself, how he has approached people, his is not a new approach for mr. trump. it is resonating with republicans, and we saw -- talked a little bit about joe biden earlier and whether he will run. if there is ever a time for a blunt talking politician like joe biden now may be the time. we will certainly see it play out in the republic and party. therefference though trump -- the thing

that has helped trump here is the immigration issue. you don't see that as much when seeing about -- you don't them talking about that over the years until now, where it has become a real hotspot for republican primary voters. host: to follow up on that point, this is the headline from the national journal. trump preaching to shrinking white electorate creates problems for gop. mike is on the phone. good morning. caller: hello. first of all, i am an independent. i will vote for trump just because i think he has new ideas . i also feel that if biden enters

the race, it will dilute the from the focus on hillary and the problems. i really don't put it past him. these people will do anything to get elected. host: your response? guest: i think there is a certain -- the people who want to see biden enter the race are not only biden supporters, but a lot of people thinking what will help the democratic party in this race and help clinton -- for him to enter the race and get her another person to debate with. i don't think biden is going to necessarily run only to help clinton, but it is certainly helping the party and adding to the race for that to be a calculation. and newter iowa

hampshire, the third primary is in south carolina in february. that is where this is -- this caller is from. charlie from south carolina. url -- you are a republican? who are you going to support? are you with us? caller: yes i am. host: who are you going to support, do you know yet? caller: i think donald trump. i know he is not a pure republican but he stands for everything a republican should stand for. is whyy question i have ofuld we build a wall jack why don't we just make mexico a part of the united states? make it the 51st state. there are a lot of good citizens. the past who, in have you supported in the south carolina republican primary? caller: bush.

.nd reagan reagan and bush. host: your senator lindsey graham is running for president. what do you think about? well i think he is too -- ervative and some went in some ways. he is not for the middle, working-class that much. education isa's probably one of the lowest in the state, in the country. host: thank you for the call from south carolina. guest: well i don't think charlie is going to find a candidate in the republican race that is down with making mexico the 51st state. what i would say is probably closest to that is lindsey graham or jeb bush. graham supported a push for

immigration reform in the u.s. senate a couple of years ago, jeb bush has -- made it a big part of his candidacy. what he wants to do is rewrite immigration laws in order to attract the best and brightest from outside the country, and i think that is what he is talking about. host: and robert sending industry, my money is on ben carson to win. he is second in iowa polls. guest: he is certainly surged in the past couple of months. he has another chance to get in front of the -- a national audience next month in california at the next are public and debate, and i think if he puts in a good solid performance this year we could be talking about him a lot more in the next couple of months. from portland -- host: from cortland, ohio, democrats line. good morning. caller: good morning. i love c-span.

i'd like to send trump a lesson, as well as dr. carson. this guy is going to be president. -- isn't going to be president. is amazing thing is jeb bush precipitous fall. guest: so there was a of snark on twitter this week when jeb bush announced the cochairman of his campaign in virginia would be eric cantor. cantor obviously had one of the most embarrassing losses in modern political history when he lost his library race -- the house leadership lost his primary race. now here he is playing president of politics.

presidential politics. jeb bush is not going to get the tea party folks who ousted eric cantor. he needs more support, he needs more money. eric cantor is still popular and well thought out in certain circles in western virginia. he is a proven fundraiser. there are a lot of pluses here for jeb bush to bring in eric cantor. clearly one of them is not going to be the price -- tea party support. host: this morning in the new york times, the real cure for -- front for hillary clinton and donald trump, john kasich of ohio. be one ofat he could the most for middle candidates against hillary clinton if she is a nominee. guest: yes. this is been out there for a couple of months. democrats will say the same thing. they are relatively fresh faces

on the national clinical seen and can go after clinton -- people who are maybe looking for a new face, which obviously hillary clinton would not give them. john kasich, he helped balance the budget in ohio when he was in ohio congressman, and he is a popular governor in a swing state. against amittedly weak democratic candidate, but you saw him win reelection in ohio. winning cuyahoga county in cleveland, a democratic stronghold. marco rubio is probably the most talented communicator in the field. cang cuban-american who keep you captivated whether he is speaking to thousands on a stage or in a small town hall in

new hampshire oh -- or iowa. host: we covered to policy outliningott walker his policy agenda and senator marco rubio, who also in the washington journal this past how myote an essay, presidency would deal with china. of course with the gyrations on wall street and the upcoming state visit by the president. here is a portion of what senator marco rubio said friday in charleston, s.c.. [video clip] nothing butolds good will for the people of china. i believe the moment they finally attain true freedom, that moment will change the course of human history and will benefit the economic and strategic interests of the united states and the world. freedom for people in china must be our goal. but sadly it has not been the goal of our current president. he has only appeased their oppressive leaders and he has

stayed silent and -- silent in the face of their human rights abuses. he failed to respond adequately to the unprecedented breaches of our computer networks, and he is given our allies reason to doubt our commitment to their security. the fact that china is growing more assertive by the day suggest that its rulers share the same doubts about america's resolve. president obama had hoped that by being more open to china we would make them more responsible nation. but it has not worked. we can no longer succumb to the solution that more dialogue alone with china and its current rulers will narrow the gap in values and interests that separates. that is why, well i do not believe that we should cancel the president's visit to washington next month, i also do not believe that we should be rolling out the red carpet for him. this is an opportunity to speak bluntly to this authoritarian

ruler, not to treat him to a state dinner. it is up to our next president to correct the errors of the current one. this is one of the many reasons hillary clinton must not become our next president. one of her first actions as secretary of state was to reassure china's rulers that cooperation on climate change, of all things, was more important than her calling beijing to account for its violations of human rights. as a secretary of state was a disaster, we can be sure she will run on it in the general election. we have to put forward a nominee with the experience and record of judgment necessary to take her to task. host: that is senator marco rubio on friday in south carolina. michael bender, a bloomberg politics, george w. bush, george herbert walker bush, bill clinton, all talking about china before the election. it changed when they became commander-in-chief. that part about walling

ourselves off from china which could have to effects for our ofnomy -- it is that sort tough talk, it appeals in the primary, it appeals in an election. its way out ined actual practice. here we see rubio demonstrating the skills, his communication ability. he is talking tough there and appealing to some of the fears on china while also being very nuanced. he does not want to cancel a visit from china's president, he does not want -- he just doesn't want to have any public events with him. he is trying to thread the needle there. he does a pretty effectively. host: and governor scott walker calling for the president to cancel the state is a completely. let's go to richard joining us for mississippi. good morning. caller: good morning gentlemen. thank you for c-span.

this is a little offsetting but it concerns money going to the rich. bill goes up power every month, every year. 200,holds now are paying 300, 400 month. my statement is why don't the government take this profit, and the that of giving it to the , do it onockholders the grids. all these groups belong to power companies yet the people have to pay the power companies again. all the profits go to the stockholders. that is just my comment, something i have just been wanting to get off me, and i thank you so much. host: thank you for the call. did you want to weigh in briefly? guest: again, i think it is the income inequality issue. we are seeing more and more republicans, particularly the

tea party momentum within the party talking about getting rid , subsidiestax breaks for energy companies. again we have not pointing that play out in the halls of congress, but we are seeing that issue talked about more and more by the republican cap it. host: charles is next from ohio. good morning. caller: good morning. how are you guys? host: we are fine. thank you. how are you? caller: i am wonderful. that holds e-mail thing with hillary clinton, i find it ironic that someone who helped prosecute nixon for his 18 minute tape missing delete 30,000 e-mails plus, and has been so paranoid in her political career that is just another continuation of more of the same old same old with the clintons.

you have got so many scandals in his past that it is not funny, and the president that we have now has been more cloak and dagger then any president we have ever had in my memory. we put hillary and there it is going to be more of the same. host: charles, who is your candidate? caller: i have not made my mind up yet, by law -- i like a lot of what rubio says as i find him to be articulate like the gentleman on your show says. but i also like carly fiorina. i think she is very intelligent. host: ok. thank you for the call. guest: this is a big problem for clinton. it just feeds into the narrative , andother clinton scandal gives republicans more fire. host: next caller is mike from

wisconsin. good morning. caller: good morning. i would like to hear the comments from mr. bender about ishas citizens united had -- , any any one person candidate in any race, any one person. i am thinking of newt gingrich that billionne, are out in biggest who kept him alive for a few more weeks. i really tuned in to the press and c-span, and i just don't any particular one that was ever bought. you guys being journalists your whole life, i would just love to hear your comments. headlineit would be a if any one person was able, because of their money, put someone in office. , i do love carly

fiorina like the last caller. it would be great to see her because of her ideas. oft: mike, what do you think the election of william mckinley? my canada? would you go back that far or more recently? caller: i can't. i can't go back that far. i am kind of a current events guy. i like history but i just kind of look at citizens united and following obama, all the money he had and he backed away from the campaign rules. it just does not seem like money has a direct effect. at politics right now, look at other people in politics and all the different races and stuff. i just don't think that money is buying the race. it is about people.

i just will listen to the journalist who does it for a living. i discussed listen to you for entertainment. host: we will get a response. guest: if you take the long view of this it is definitely a long .ecord there are plenty of people who've done that and one. a recent example is governor rick scott. he has put dollars of his own money in the first race he has ever run to win the governors asked -- office. but for most populous state in the country. the dynamics with citizens united is a little bit different. mike was asking about nude gingrich.

-- newt gingrich. this is a hold of dynamic this time around. ,lmost all of these candidates almost all of them have their own billionaire who has suggested that they would be willing to finance the campaign in the early states. then you have someone like jeb bush who has, at last count, a dozen different billionaires who have supported his super pac. i think it is going to be a whole new ball game this year, and money does not necessarily equal a win, but you cannot win without money. host: and that kept newt gingrich in the race longer than initially expected back in 2012. this is again a headline from the des moines register.
